The $4.5 million federally funded “integrated communications and command centre’’ is located at Brisbane’s police headquarters. The facility will be used by ASIO, the Australian Federal Police and Australian Defence Force during the G20 summit.

“The police operations centre will be the nerve centre for all operations across Brisbane and South Bank as part of the G20,’’ said Police Minister Jack Dempsey (pictured above).

“Staff are undertaking various training exercises in the operations centre to test its state of the art technology leading into G20,” he said.

Mr Dempsey said Riverfire – and possibly the Bridge to Brisbane – were “just two events that will give our officers a great opportunity to utilise its capabilities in a real life situation”.

“We’re committed to ensuring the safety and security of all G20 attendees,’’ he said.

Queensland police will oversee part of G20 security.

“The ability to be able to discharge that function effectively will be helped significantly by the new command centre,’’ Assistant Commissioner Carroll said.
